The LuCIN leadership, along with Lupus Therapeutics, the clinical research affiliate of Lupus Research Alliance, is pleased to announce this funding opportunity to support new investigators/junior faculty at LuCIN centers who are interested in developing expertise in conducting lupus clinical trials. The competitive program will provide up to $100K per award to be used over a 2-year period. Funding is intended for salary and mentoring support for the Mentor/Mentee. Indirect costs will not be covered. Only ONE application per LuCIN center will be allowed.

The goal of this program is to engage and support future lupus clinical trial investigators with funding that will allow dedicated time to undergo training in clinical trials and develop a clinical trials portfolio under the mentorship of a LuCIN PI/Sub-I at a LuCIN center.

The metric for success for each candidate/mentee is to engage in at least one new LuCIN clinical trial (as PI or Sub-I) by the end of the funding period, to generate continued salary support and further advance lupus clinical research. Importantly, the program will prepare lupus clinical trial investigators to adopt and uphold a high-quality standard for lupus studies which will ultimately benefit the lupus community.

AWARD AMOUNT:

$100,000 total per award to LuCIN center (to be used over the 2-year funding period). If desired, the funding may be divided between the LuCIN center mentee and mentor.
